That is true, In 1995 Sheriff John Wesley Anderson started issuing concealed carry permits to anyone over 21 with no felony, $60. for Training, $52.50 to CBI for background check, $ 13. Fingerprint fee and firearms training class are issued a 5 year permit. 5 Year renewal fee is about half price. The first thing law enforcement wants you to do is drop you weapon! No problem, bad guys are usually too dumb to drop it, like this guy. “Life is tough, but it’s tougher when you’re stupid.” John Wayne.

I hope you are aware of the killing of a concealed carry permit holder in Las Vegas.

He was spotted as being armed in a Costco, I believe it was, and reports phoned to the police stated that he was acting erratically. The man had exited Costco when several officers confronted him. He was probably confronted with ambiguous and conflicting orders from several of the officers. One may have yelled, "Drop the gun" while another yelled, "Raise your hands".

Conveniently for the police who killed the man, the video recorders outside Costco were not working. We will never know exactly what happened.

The lesson I learned from this man's death is that, if the police order you to "Drop the gun" and I am not holding the gun, I WILL NOT reach for the gun and attempt to drop it. To do so would be to provide justification for the police to kill me.
